Odessa Council grills ODC over Hispanic Chamber funds
Odessa City Council presses Odessa Development Corporation member Richard Browning about why the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce received 45000 instead of the requested 106000 as part of the 2011 12 budget. The panel notes OHCC brought few contracts and jobs while ODC cites performance and proximity of influence. The council approves the budget 3 2 and moves to public hearing on red light cameras and a synthetic drug crackdown ordinance.
